Tim's subs won it :-)

Clark has been great at centre half

[RonBurgundy]

Ayew man of the match for me.

I'd say Grealish with Ayew close second

[SoccerHQ]

That will be that.

Ayew man of the match for me.

I'd say Grealish with Ayew close second

They've both been equally good to be fair.

Fair play, credit where it's due. Up the Villa.

"As bad as we are......"

Full time.

It's one of those two, they've changed everything.

Also worth pointing out how much better Clark looked at centre back.

[Toronto Villa]

Yessssss!! Job done.

[ozzjim]

Grealish goes crazy at the Holte. You have to love the little fucker you really do.

[citizenDJ]

Yes!! Get in!

[Archie]

Delighted! 😀

[rob_bridge]

Well done. Well deserved. Good subs.

Onwards.

[Risso]

That second half was totes amazeballs.

To say I've 'enjoyed' the second half would be stretching it a bit I think, but much, much better.

Ayew and Grealish have been great.  Hopefully a confidence boost for Ayew, but it's been a while since we've had a player where the expectation when the ball is at their feet is as high as when Grealish gets it.  Three men on him in the last 10 mins, which says everything about what the opposition think of him.

And after the Leicester debacle, I've got no complaints whatsoever about our boys slowing it down from 75 mins, and heading to the corners from about 85.  Seeing it out professionally.

Job done!
